Planning to start a business this year? Then this episode is for you.
I am spilling all the secrets on what I would do if I was starting a business as a mom in 2024.
I started my business back in 2016 before I was even married and long before I had kids. A lot has changed since then both in the business landscape and within my personal life so I wanted to share what I would prioritize if I was starting a business as a mom in 2024 because it certainly looks a lot different than what I did back in 2016 as a brand new business owner.

In today’s episode, I am diving into how I’m prioritizing myself during this season of life and to be honest, this isn’t something I am naturally good at, especially now that I have kids and my time is much more limited but I know it’s so important so I have been working really hard to make myself a priority too because I know that when I feel fulfilled, I am more patient with my kids and productive within my business.

In this episode, I discuss:
